Price Matching One store to another

Another interesting way to save money, time, energy and GAS is to price match. Two stores in my area price match, and most areas have both of these retailers. Walmart and Zellers. Now I know that there are others out there, but you take what you can get, right?

Walmart is great for price matching. As long as they have the product that is. No questions, no hassle, but out of respect to the cashiers, I try to find a non busy time of day and do it then. There is nothing worse then a large lineup behind someone when they are price matching to another store. Sure makes people ugly that is for sure.

Zellers is just as happy to price match for you too. And the up side of price matching with Zellers is that you get your HBC rewards too. So that is one of the reasons why I tend to choose Zellers over Walmart to price match. My HBC rewards eventually turn into Air Miles, which then in turn become gift certificates (GC's) for food. A great Christmas gift to kids who don't live at home. And a great way to spend your points that everyone appreciates.

One thing that I have found with both of these stores is that not only will they allow you to price match another flyer, they will allow for coupons too. So, you save money with the coupons, save money on wear and tear on your car, gas, and time, but you have the extra bonus of feeling that you just made the best deal out there. How can anyone go wrong?
